Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
• 3 pieces peaches (ripe and firm)
• 1 large yellow onion
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (grated)
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Season the chicken thighs with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the skin is golden and crispy. Flip the chicken and cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

While the chicken is cooking, pit the peaches and cut them into thick wedges. Slice the onion into thin wedges.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly caramelized.

Step 7

Stir in the grated ginger and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 8

Add the soy sauce, honey, and a splash of water (about 2 tablespoons) to the skillet. Stir to combine, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 9

Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, arranging them skin-side up. Scatter the peach wedges around the chicken.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the peaches are tender.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
